This is a material analysis. What do parents say why they don’t want more children?
If Sweden is a society where people don’t believe in a better future I think it’s better to export the jobs instead of making more people live under those conditions.
Sweden has one of the highest living standards in the world, and you think we should let that go just to avoid immigration? I hope I misunderstood, because that’s just dumb
We’re not forcing people to come here you know. Also the nordics are generally winning the “happiest country” award, so I don’t get why you think people here aren’t happy.
The decline in births is a global phenomenon. It’s down everywhere except Africa, parts of Asia and parts of South America. I think 1-2 countries in S.America and a few more in Asia.
Wouldn’t surprise me if countries will beg migrants to come in a decade or two.
I know the arguments. They sound reasonable. But if people get a year of vacation for making a baby, and they don’t make a baby every other year then something is really bad about rising children.
You think having a newborn is a “vacation”? Oh dear.
Having a baby is risky for a woman, physically, financially, emotionally. Perhaps the outlook of the world isn’t great either. Combine that with women realising that they have choices, that they don’t have to have children, and you get the decline.

You didn’t misunderstand but drew a conclusion. How happy are people if they don’t want to have children?
If they are not happy why draw people out of countries where they are happy to have kids and make them live in a society where people are less happy?
